Pretty pic. But you could do some work on the unsharp parts. The transition from sharp to unsharp on the nose is very rapid. And the red lines don't become unsharp at all. You can copy the Flag layer. Blur it to match to most unsharp part of the face. Then add a Layer Mask and use the Gradient Tool (with the colors set to White & Black. Make sure you have white as forground color and that the Gradient goes from white to black) and click (with the Mask selected in the Layers Palette) and drag from the unsharp part of the picture to the sharp part. I hope that I make any sense
